“More “bums-in-seats” every month without discounts, ads, or extra staff.”

Turning reviews into revenues.

“Turn Happy Customers Into Ready-To-Run Video Ads Automatically”
No influencers. No scripts. Just real guests saying why they chose you.
Restaurant Management Is a Brutal Game
And Full Tables Are the Only Score That Matters
But no one believes the “EST” words. You know, ‘best’, ‘biggest’, ‘fastest’ etc. You prospective customers don’t believe them and neither do any of the search engines.
Thats because everyone says the same thing. Do you really think you have the ‘tastiest ribs on the south side”?
For years Google just presented list of sites and let you go find your solution on a website. Now the new search tools (Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini etc.) are making recommendations. But, in order to be recommended you need PROOF and the “EST” words don’t work anymore.
You need this:

Real People – Real Reviews – Real Results”
– Not more “EST” words
– Not more AI slop on Yelp
– Not some paid influencer doing ads for you
Let’s call it what it is.
Running a restaurant today is exhausting.
Staff shortages.
Rising food costs.
Guests with endless expectations and zero patience.
You manage schedules, suppliers, inventory, complaints, margins—
All while trying to keep the vibe right.
But underneath all of it is one job that never goes away:
Fill the room.
Landing page sections:
Headline: “Get 5 diner video testimonials in 14 days—captioned, logo-on, vertical + widescreen—for $69/mo.”
3-step how it works + 60-sec demo reel
Guarantee box
“What you’ll get” list (captions, logo, 9:16 + 16:9)
Because everything gets easier when the dining room is full.
And nothing else matters, when it isn’t.
Here’s the Uncomfortable Truth About Marketing Today
Your food can be great.
Your service can be dialed in.
Your atmosphere can be perfect.
And still… people hesitate.
Why?
Because no one believes marketing anymore.
Ads are ignored.
Photos are assumed to be staged.
Claims are treated like exaggerations.
And nobody – nobody –
Books a restaurant without checking reviews first.
But even reviews are losing power.
Because reading what someone wrote after the experience
is not the same as seeing it happen.
The Real Problem is Vanishing Proof
Every night, something wonderful happens in your restaurant.
Guests laugh.
Plates come back clean.
People lean back in their chairs and say,
“This was a great choice.”
And then…
That moment disappears as they walk out the door.
You already did the hard part –
Created a great experience.
You just let the evidence (and your best advertising) walk out the door.
That’s What Puts Bums in Seats
Not ads.
Not slogans.
Not another “Best in Town” claim.
Proof.
The kind that feels real because it *is* real.
Captured while the energy is still in the room.
While the food is still on the table.
While the reaction is honest.
Introducing: The Bums in Seats App
A simple way to capture short, real-time video testimonials
from happy guests,
right in your dining room.
No scripts.
No production.
No influencers pretending.
Just real people, in the moment, saying why this place was worth choosing.
Why This Works When Everything Else Doesn’t
Text reviews tell people what someone thought.
Video shows them how it feels to be there.
Your food.
Your lighting.
Your crowd.
Your energy.
In seconds.
This is a land grab.
And most people don’t even know the land exists.
That emotional shortcut does what no ad can do:
It removes doubt.
And when doubt disappears, reservations follow.
“What If I Lose Control?”
You don’t.
Only positive testimonials are published.
You decide what gets shared—and what doesn’t.
Anything awkward, unclear, or off-brand never goes public.
You’re not giving up control.
You’re choosing which proof represents you.## “Won’t This Interrupt the Guest Experience?”
Not at all.
Testimonials are optional and take just seconds**.
Guests are invited only after they’ve clearly had a great experience.
Most enjoy it.
Because people like being asked to share something positive
while they’re still feeling it.
“Won’t Raw Video Look Unprofessional?”
No.
It looks confident. It looks real.
Polished marketing feels edited.
Raw, in-the-moment reactions feel honest.
Today’s diners don’t trust perfection.
They trust reality.
And reality beats polish every time.
“Isn’t This Just Yelp With Video?”
No.
Yelp tells people what others ‘said’ later.
It’s because AI is like Hamburger Helper … without knowing how a real meal comes together, you’ll keep reheating the same mediocrity and calling it “done.”
This shows how it felt right now.
It’s the difference between reading about a party
and seeing the room while it’s happening.
One informs.
The other persuades.
“Will This Create more Work for My Staff?”
Barely.
If staff can ask,
“How’s everything tasting?”
They can invite a happy guest to leave a quick video.
The app handles everything else.
Why This Fills Tables
People don’t choose restaurants based on logic.
They choose based on confidence.
When potential guests can *see* others enjoying your restaurant—
not staged, not scripted, not filtered—
Choosing you feels safe.
Easy.
Obvious.
This Works Especially Well for Independent Restaurants
Big chains buy attention.
Local restaurants earn trust.
And trust spreads faster when people can see it.
This is word-of-mouth—
Captured, multiplied, and working for you long after the table is cleared.
The Bottom Line
You already have happy guests.
You already have great experiences.
You’re just letting the proof walk out the door!
The Bums in Seats App keeps it alive—
So the next guest doesn’t have to guess.
They can see it for themselves.
Option 3: The “Gold Standard” (David Ogilvy Style)
Your best advertisements aren’t written by agency pros; they are sitting at Table 5. Bums-In-Seats captures the genuine delight of your guests and broadcasts it to every hungry person in town.
